News

• Dr Vadim B. Kuznetsov (University of Leeds, UK), an expert in integrable systems, died on 16 December 2005, aged 42.
• There are two newly elected Fellows of the Royal Society of London in the area of nonlinear dynamics. They are
  Jerrold E. Marsden FRS (CalTech)
  Michael R.E. Proctor FRS (Cambridge)

Appointments

• Róbert Szalai has been appointed Research Assistant at the Department of Engineering Mathematics, University of Bristol. Róbert did his PhD with Gábor Stépán at Budapest University of Technology and Economics on nonlinear dynamics of high-speed milling. He spent time abroad at the University of Bristol on an Eötvös Scholarship, Hungarian Scholarship Board (2004), and at MIT on a Fulbright Fellowship (2004-2005). At Bristol he will work with EPSRC Advanced Research Fellow Hinke Osinga on tori and global manifolds in piecewise-smooth vector fields.
